OMG, less than two years and barely eighty posts and I've made "Me Too Dog" status. You make me blush.
I think it would be a stretch to think of me as piling on, and as far as defending Barak...I think he's well equiped to defend himself. I don't know the man but I can see he is well educated (and I like the Barak's avatars) and spoken and that he contributes a great deal to the campfire, as do you, Houndgirl.
I try to follow the example that Mr. Coleman has set. He rarely if ever shows any animosity towards anyone. I have a ways to go but I keep trying.
Sorry I embarrassed you and I like your avatar too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
